The next measuring device to be discussed here will be the O

to 1 inch micrometer.
A micrometer, or "mike" for short, is an
instrument that measures in thousandths of an inch (1/1000 inch). The type found in the test kit is adjustable, so there is an accompanying hex wrench. These items are shown in Figure 4 .
In Figure 5, the various parts of the micrometer are identified, including the frame, the barrel, spindle, and the anvil. a friction stop. The the thimble, the

Since the friction stop always slips at a particu-
l a r pressure, the micrometer can be tightened the same amount for
each measurement, allowing for more repeatable results. Since the micrometer found in the test kit is an adjustable type, the first operation involves checking to make certain that the micrometer is "zeroed."
To do this, hold the micrometer a s
shown in Figure 6 , and turn the friction stop until the spindle and anvil are in contact. With the micrometer closed, the " O "
on
the thimble should be aligned with the " 0 " mark on the barrel, as shown in Figure 7. If this is not the case, then the instrument
must be adjusted as explained below.

the friction stop end of the thimble, while holding the spindle stationary. Then move the thimble until the I I O " marks on both
the barrel and the spindle are aligned as shown in Figure 7 .
The
hex wrench can then be used to tighten the thimble in this position. The thimble should then be loosened and the initial step
repeated to make certain that the instrument is now properly calibrated. The micrometer is now ready to be used for measuring. However, in order to determine the size of some object, it is necessary to understand how to read dimensions on the micrometer. The marks on the thimble represent 0.001 inch each. By turning
the thimble in the direction shown in Figure 8, the spindle moves away from the anvil.
If the thimble is turned so that the first

Figure 14, Positioning Dial Caliper for Various Measurements
As with the micrometer, the first step toward using the dial caliper is to determine if it is properly zeroed.
This is a c -
complished by moving the slider until the outside jaws are completely closed. While holding the slider in this position, move
the bezel until the dial indicator needle is centered over the
"O"
mark on the dial. Once the instrument is properly zeroed, it is now ready for
use.
Depending on the type of dimension desired (outside, in-
side, depth or step height) the dial caliper will be positioned as shown in Figure 14.

sions indicated by the outside jaws, inside jaws, and depth in-

tal dimension is equal to 10 mm (from main beam) plus 7.85 mm (from dial indicator) for a total of 17.85 mm.

Figure 16,
2 Inch Diameter Reading Glass
The primary purpose of this instrument is to magnify objects

so they can be more accurately analyzed.
As
far as the use of
the reading glass, it is positioned between the eye and the object being viewed to produce a magnified image. An example of
its use for the examination might be in the measurement of porosity occurring in the fillet weld. The combined use of the
reading glass with one of the measuring instruments will allow for the most accurate determination of the porosity size.

Measuring Fillet Weld Size With the Fibre Metal Template Gages
The Fibre Metal template fillet weld gages are sold in a set as shown in Figure 17.
Figure 17,
Fibre Metal Template Fillet Weld Gages
This set of gages permits the accurate measurement of fillet welds from 1/8 to 1 inch, regardless of whether the contour of the fillet weld is flat, convex or concave. Before discussing the application of these gages, it is appropriate to briefly mention what is meant by fillet weld size.
AWS defines the size of
a fillet weld as being the size of the
largest right isosceles triangle which can be totally contained within the cross section of the fillet weld. With this in mind,
S-16
--``,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
Not for Resale
it becomes apparent that the part of the fillet weld limiting the size of this theoretical triangle is different depending on whether the weld is convex (humped up) or concave (dished in). For the convex fillet weld, its size is determined by the leg dimension. In the case of the concave fillet weld, the throat Consequently, these fillet
dimension is the limiting factor.
weld gages have been designed to facilitate the measurement of either of these dimensions, depending on which part of the gage is used.
In Figure 18, one of these template gages is shown.
It is
--``,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
noted that there are two different shapes of cutouts present. One shape (shown on the bottom of this gage) is a single approximately circular cutout (or arc). The other shape noted
(shown on the top of this gage) consists of two circular cutouts (or arcs) on either side of a flat surface.

tion of the gage is used for determining the size of a concave fillet weld. Their typical application is shown in Figure 19.

CONVEX WELDS
Figure 19,
CONCAVE WELDS
Typical Application of Fibre Metal Gages
The convex fillet weld size is determined by placing the proper portion of the gage against the two base metal surfaces. The weld is considered to be the size specified on the gage if the top corner of the gage touches the weld face or the weld toe when positioned as shown in Figure 19 (bottom left illustration). Similarly, the size of a concave fillet weld is found by positioning the proper portion of the gage against the two base metal reference surfaces. This weld is then considered to be the
size indicated on the gage if the flat reference surface touches
S-18
the weld face when the gage is held in the position shown in Figure 19 (bottom right illustration).
So,
even t h o u g h t h e p a r t
of the fillet weld being measured varies depending on whether it is convex or concave, the actual sizes of the welds will be iden-
tical, provided the sizes etched on the gage surfaces are the same. Figure 20 illustrates the proper application of these types
of gages for several different conditions.

It is noted in these examples that
multiple applications of
the gage may be necessary in order to properly measure a f i l l e t

weld. Since these gages are supplied in 1/16 inch increments,
fillet weld sizes can be determined only to the closest 1 / 3 2 inch.

So, the inspector will have to make a judgment as to w h i c h
gage comes closest to actual weld size. For example, let's consier the measurement of a convex fillet weld. In this example, we'll assume that t w o separate gages
(1/4 and 5 / 1 6 inch) were applied, but the weld appeared larger than 1/4 inch but less than the 5/16 inch. In this case, the in-
spector must make a decision as to which of the two gages comes closest to the actual weld size. If the weld appears to be less
than 1/32 inch larger than the 1/4 inch gage, it would be classified as a 1/4 inch weld. However, if the measurement showed
that the weld size was less than 1 / 3 2 inch smaller than the 5 / 1 6 inch gage, it would then be considered to be a 5/16 inch fillet
weld.

measure a number of different weld dimensions, including:

While a number of different dimensions can be determined with this gage, o n l y that part of the gage designed to measure the amount of weld reinforcement will be needed for the hands-on test. This gage is not really suited for measuring the fillet

Summary
This section is intended to provide an individual preparing for the AWS CWI Examination with information about what to expect during the closed-book "Practical Hands-On" portion of the test. It's primary purpose is to explain the use of the various tools in the test kit. Since it is difficult to fully understand how to use some instrument simply from some written explanation, each individual is urged to practice with each of these tools prior to the day of the test. Only then will it be possible to most efficiently
apply these tools during the brief test period.
